Entanglement:
 
Loose clothing, gloves, neckties, 
jewelry or long hair may get caught in 
moving parts, causing entanglement, 
amputation, crushing, or strangulation. 
Reduce this risk by removing/securing 
these items so they cannot contact moving 
parts.
Mental Alertness: 
Operating this item with 
reduced mental alertness increases the 
risk of accidental injury. Do not let a 
temporary influence or distraction lead to a 
permanent disability! Never operate when 
under the influence of drugs/alcohol, when 
tired, or otherwise distracted.
Safe Environment:
 
Operating electrically 
powered equipment in a wet environment 
may result in electrocution; operating near 
highly flammable materials may result in a 
fire or explosion. Only operate this item in 
a dry location that is free from flammable 
materials.
Electrical Connection: 
With electically powered 
equipment, improper connections to the 
power source may result in electrocution 
or fire. Always adhere to all electrical 
requirements and applicable codes when 
connecting to the power source. Have all 
work inspected by a qualified electrician to 
minimize risk.
Disconnect Power: 
Adjusting or servicing 
electrically powered equipment while it 
is connected to the power source greatly 
increases the risk of injury from accidental 
startup. Always disconnect power 
BEFORE any service or adjustments, 
including changing blades or other tooling.
Secure Workpiece/Tooling:
 
Loose workpieces, 
cutting tools, or rotating spindles can 
become dangerous projectiles if not 
secured or if they hit another object during 
operation. Reduce the risk of this hazard 
by verifying that all fastening devices are 
properly secured and items attached to 
spindles have enough clearance to safely 
rotate.
Chuck Keys or Adjusting Tools:
 
Tools used to 
adjust spindles, chucks, or any moving/
rotating parts will become dangerous 
projectiles if left in place when the machine 
is started. Reduce this risk by developing 
the habit of always removing these tools 
immediately after using them.
Work Area:
 
Clutter and dark shadows increase 
the risks of accidental injury. Only operate 
this item in a clean, non-glaring, and well-
lighted work area.
Properly Functioning Equipment:
 
Poorly 
maintained, damaged, or malfunctioning 
equipment has higher risks of causing 
serious personal injury compared to 
those that are properly maintained.  
To reduce this risk, always maintain 
this item to the highest standards and 
promptly repair/service a damaged or 
malfunctioning component. Always follow 
the maintenance instructions included in 
this documentation.
Unattended Operation:
 
Electrically powered 
equipment that is left unattended while 
running cannot be controlled and is 
dangerous to bystanders. Always turn the 
power OFF before walking away.
Health Hazards: 
Certain cutting fluids and 
lubricants, or dust/smoke created when 
cutting, may contain chemicals known to 
the State of California to cause cancer, 
respiratory problems, birth defects, 
or other reproductive harm. Minimize 
exposure to these chemicals by wearing 
approved personal protective equipment 
and operating in a well ventilated area.
Difficult Operations:
 
Attempting difficult 
operations with which you are unfamiliar 
increases the risk of injury. If you 
experience difficulties performing the 
intended operation, STOP! Seek an 
alternative method to accomplish the 
same task, ask a qualified expert how the 
operation should be performed, or contact 
our Technical Support for assistance.
